Jeffers, I can't believe you're going to do it! That thing should be in a Honda museum. What are you going to ride next?

 

He's had an SV1000 for a while.

 

Wow Jeff! That's a killer price.

Can I ask? What's the title status?

 

titles free, clear, and ready to transfer.
Registrations good till April 2008


I've been going back and fourth about it as spring of this year approached, when I felt I should make a decision on the sale.
I decided to do what I've done in the past and let the market decide.
I put a dollar amount on what it's worth to me to lose my back-up bike that isn't being used much, but is still costing me in small ways to maintain it at 'ready to ride status', not just stored. Actually it's a strong position to sell something from. I'm prepared to keep it if the market value isn't $2000 and the beginning of Spring is the time to find out.
There's probably a few others out there that it hasn't dawned on yet, about Spring being decision time for selling motorcycles they love, but aren't really using any more. It actually saddens me a little seeing any of my other bikes sitting there un-ridden as I leave on my primary motorcycle.

I'd be different if I wasn't just a recreational rider who drove a company van for work.
Or if I had others in the household that rode.
